Thanks, good to know there isn’t any outspoken rule of how one ought to view karma in that aspect.
But then when are you allowed to downvote? Obviously when someones argument is unsound or when a comment do not actually add something to discussion, but is it “OK” downvote if you just strongly disagree, for example if someone makes a good case for eating babies, that is to say based upon that persons assumptions about the world eating babies is (EDIT: not) a bad thing, lets say “since babies are not conscious it’s okay to eat them” (I’m not implying that the statement harbors any truth).
Then I decided to downvote the first comment you wrote on or after October 15th, because fuck your first comment on or after October 15th! unless in it you advocated eating babies.
Then I read it and decided that advocating pesticide was close enough, because weeds are people too, and undid my downvote.

That’s a good question, so I upvoted this post.
